The present building of Sisak Cathedral dates back to the first half of the 18th century. Traces of it can be found in canonical visits from 1702 to 1760 when the bell tower was built. The church was consecrated in 1765. After the earthquake of 1909, the old baroque facade was replaced by a new one, executed in the neoclassical style with art nouveau details.
The wooden chapel of Saint Martin in Stari Brod, built in the 17th century, is a rare example of traditional Baroque architecture with a fully preserved painted interior. Although extremely dilapidated, the chapel remained in service until 2007, when its reconstruction began. After the restoration work was completed in 2015, the chapel was put back into service.
Azizija Mosque (Azizija džamija) is a historic mosque in Kostajnica, originally built in 1862 by Ottoman Sultan Abdul-Aziz. The mosque was destroyed in 1992 and rebuilt in 2008.
The Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in 1692, and its present appearance is the result of a major renovation and enlargement according to the plans of Hermann Bollé (1845-1926). The spacious building with a single nave, concluded by a polygonal sanctuary next to the choir, has side chapels and a sacristy. The nave is divided into three transepts with a cross barrel vault. The neo-Romanesque exterior is dominated by an octagonal tower in front of the central axis of the main façade.
